I WISH to refer to the  Mayor & City Council (M&CC) of Georgetown.  Please permit me to state the following:

1. The Ministry of Local Government must be complemented for strongly and continuously addressing the problems of this “Blight” in the city of Georgetown, the Mayor  & City Council.
2. It is indisputable that the M&CC has failed miserably to effectively manage our Garden City which is the city of Georgetown and, as a result, must be urgently removed and replaced by an Interim Management Committee (IMC) until the holding of Local Government Elections.
3. The parliamentary opposition does not  want Local Government Elections to be held this year 2013, since they are not considering the four Local Government Bills before them at the level of the Parliamentary select committee. Yet these demons are shouting with their big mouths that they want local government elections to be held urgently. It is one of their dirty ploys to make Guyana ungovernable.
4. The Western diplomats therefore recognised where the problem lies that is why they made a pronouncement that Local Government Elections must be held in 2013.
5. The Mayor of Georgetown Mr. Hamilton Green, in office since 1994, has definitely outlived his usefulness to society and just needs to do the honourable thing:  bow out gracefully, since he is currently the Mayor of a garbage city which the government badly wants to restore to its former glory as a result of gross incompetence on the part of the M&CC.
6. The Mayor at a public forum asked the citizenry of Georgetown to pray for the City’s deliverance from “The Evil Clutches of the Government” (Sunday Chronicle January 13th, 2013). But the Mayor is wrong and therefore misleading to the citizens of Georgetown. He should have instead asked those present at “his forum” to pray for the city’s deliverance from “The Evil Clutches of the parliamentary opposition”. Since he and his close Councillors belong to the APNU which is perfect evidence that APNU is not fit to manage the city of Georgetown. If , therefore, APNU is not fit to even manage the city of Georgetown, how can they manage the affairs of the whole of Guyana? I think this is the question which all Guyanese and not only the residents of Georgetown must ask themselves and currently this is a relevant question.
